Title: Dutch Omega
Post by: Dusty on 05 May 2009, 16:24:55

We have some Dutch friends staying.

They arrived in an Opel Omega 2.4i.

I've never heard of that one before.

It has four cylinders

Here are a few pictures of it

Thanks Dusty :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Can't say that I've heard of a 2.4 either. We/UK used to have a 2.2 CiH in the Carlton (I think Opel called it a Commodore :-/) previous to that, I know Opel had some diseasal versions that Vauxhall didn't have, which had a 'power bulge' in the bonnet to accomodate the straight 6 lump.

yep, its an opel omega A caravan. Production ran from 1986 to 1993 with a minifacelift in 1991. Powertrains were 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4 4cyl petrol and2.0 and 2.3 turbodiesel. Think they also added 2.6 and 3.0 v6s as well.

That engine was common in Europe with that car.
But most of the models sold in Europe were 2.0 if I can remember correctly.
